Would it make sense for Mint to bundle xfce-clipman to workaround this problem?

I think it's actually more program specific, not Desktop Environment. See the bug here for details.

regardless, it's a bug.

i think it makes sense to include a clip manager until it's fixed.

On my Mint 19 XFCE system:

Code: Select all

apt search clipman
i A xfce4-clipman                   - clipboard history utility                 
p   xfce4-clipman:i386              - clipboard history utility                 
i   xfce4-clipman-plugin            - clipboard history plugin for Xfce panel   
p   xfce4-clipman-plugin:i386       - clipboard history plugin for Xfce panel
So far, no problems.

OK, gotcha. To be honest, I don't remember installing xfce4-clipman. Maybe it was installed when I added the xfce4-clipman-plugin to the panel (did I install something then? Who knows... :wink: ). I checked my command history, but it didn't go back that far.

I do remember having similar issues with Mint 18.3 Cinnamon, especially annoying with LibreOffice 5/6.
